Streamlining the Employee Onboarding Process

An efficient onboarding process is critical for integrating new hires seamlessly into their roles. At SailGlobal, we have refined our onboarding to typically conclude within one business day. This swift timeline is achievable once the employee has uploaded all required compliance documents to our platform and both the employee and client have executed the necessary agreements, including the Employment Contract, Master Service Agreement (MSA), and Statement of Work (SOW).

Health Insurance Enrollment: A Mandatory Step

Health insurance registration is a compulsory component of our onboarding protocol. We ensure that enrollment is finalized within the employee's first week of employment, providing essential coverage without delay. For instance, a recent case with a tech startup in Germany saw their new developer fully onboarded and insured in just three days, highlighting our commitment to efficiency.

Important Policy on Employment Types

A key policy to note is that SailGlobal does not support part-time Employment of Record (EOR) arrangements in the United States. Our services are exclusively designed for full-time EOR engagements, ensuring compliance with local regulations and maintaining high standards of support. This approach aligns with best practices observed in markets like Canada and Australia, where full-time EOR models have proven successful in minimizing legal risks.
